Modelo metodológico para la educación ambiental a partir del museo de ciencias

Abstract

The objective of the research is to know the benefits offered by the Science Museum in environmental education at the basic educational level and how to integrate through workshops into the formal curriculum. Methodology: In the present documentary review work, the benefits of learning through museums and how they potentiate the knowledge acquired in the child population in environmental education are exposed. A methodological model based on three main axes for environmental education is presented: Contextualization, Awareness and Action. Contribution: Formal education, therefore, must contemplate external learning spaces to reinforce and / or expand knowledge. In this sense, the dissemination of science takes an important role since it is through activities outside the academic program where what is learned in the classroom takes on meaning in everyday life and practical situations. The foregoing makes it necessary to have new educational strategies to understand and seek different solutions that counteract environmental deterioration of our time, using environmental education as a basic tool for people to become aware of the importance of preserving the environment in which they live. find and be able to generate changes in their behavior, values, and lifestyles.
